Unfortunately we can't seem to come up with one. So far we have 2 machines
that exhibit the issue, and their databases are highly confidential (State of
WA education data).
It does seem to require a database which is in the many GB (> 10GB), and a
situation where a small subset of the data is getting hit repeatedly by
multiple processes. So you could try your own data warehouse, making sure
that you have at least 4 connections hitting one query after another.
